L*—lightness; a*—chromaticity on a green(−)-to-red(+) axis; b*—chromaticity on a blue(−)-to-yellow(+) axis; h*—hue angle; C*—colour saturation (chroma). Results are presented as arithmetic mean ± standard deviation of three measurements. Mean values within a column followed by different superscript letters are significantly different (Tukey’s test, p ˂ 0.05).
